Is this story about Ric Flair true?

It's true, according to his book. His adopted name was (and is) Richard Morgan Fliehr, but his birth name was Fred Phillips (his biological father was named Luther Phillips), Fred Demaree or Fred Stewart (his biological mother was listed with all three names).

He was also born in Tennessee, so we can only imagine a world where Freddie 'The King' Demaree grew up idolising Jackie Fargo and snagged himself a token AWA World title reign after years of campaigning from Jerry Jarrett, much to the chagrin of would-be top star and real life rival Jumpin' Jerry Lawler. still embittered over Demaree's affair with Lawler's then-wife Kay in '81 and the nerve-touching chants of "Freddie's Kid!" aimed at young Brian Christopher.

Lawyer made a career jumping. Jumping off the ropes, jumping into bumps, and jumping out of bumps, Christ, he's the best jumper ever.

Lawler had a great standing drop kick too. One he was still breaking out into his 50s

 

 

Even at 67, it still looks great:

 

Also, he even did at a baseball game recently, five weeks ago: https://twitter.com/NachoHelmet/status/868585786836475904
